bIf you select Hex or IP, type the hexadecimal string or IP address in the Value box and click Next and go to step 5. Otherwise, click Finish.

5Select the authentication type used to authenticate communications with the remote SNMP engine:

None—No authentication is used. This is the default.

MD5—Message-digest algorithm 5 is used.

SHA—Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA) is used.

6If you select MD5 or SHA, you can specify a passphrase or a hexadecimal key:

a Select the format from the Format pull-down list. b Type the value in the Password box.

If you selected Key as the format, type a 16-byte hexadecimal string for MD5 or a 20-byte hexadecimal string for SHA.

If you selected Pass Phrase as the format, type a string at least 8 characters long.

7Select the encryption type used for SNMP traffic:

None—No encryption is used. This is the default.

DES—Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption is used.

3DES—Triple DES encryption is used.

AES—Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption is used.

8If you select DES, 3DES, or AES, you can specify a passphrase or a hexadecimal key:

a Select the format from the Format pull-down list. b Type the value in the Password box.

If you selected Key as the format, type a 16-byte hexadecimal string.

If you selected PassPhrase as the format, type a string at least 8 characters long for DES or 3DES, or at least 12 characters long for AES.

9Click Finish.
